Elon Musk appears to have a solution for the massive fleet of unsold Tesla Cybertrucks — sell them to his private companies.

Electrek is reporting that several truckloads of Cybetrucks were spotted being delivered to xAI’s offices this weekend. It’s unclear how many were sold to Musk’s company, but guesses range in the hundreds, if not thousands.

The delivery comes a week after hundreds of Cybertrucks were delivered to SpaceX, with many more expected to arrive in the coming weeks. The deliveries come amid sales for the massive trucks flatlining.

Cybertrucks Sales Are Tanking

According to multiple reports, Tesla sold only 5,385 Cybertrucks in the third quarter. That’s down a whopping 63 percent compared to the same period in 2024.

So far, in 2025, Tesla has sold 16,000 Cybertrucks. As The Verge noted, that’s a far cry from the 250,000 Musk predicted he would sell annually. Musk had predicted Tesla would sell 50,000 Cybetrucks in 2025, but the company now expects to deliver 20,000.

Things are expected to look even more bleak when the fourth-quarter numbers roll out, given that the $7,500 tax credit for EV purchases expired on Sept. 30.

Why Is Elon Musk Buying His Cybertrucks?

Fred Lambert, the writer for Electrek, which covers the EV market, deduces that “Elon [knows] Q4 is going to be rough due to the demand being pulled forward because of the tax credit,” and that is why he is retrofitting his other companies with Cybetrucks to replace his current fleet vehicles.

Lambert added that “there was a provision that if you lock in orders with unrefundable deposits before the end of September, you could still deliver vehicles in Q4 with the tax credit.”

Lambert added, “I bet Elon had SpaceX and xAI order thousands of Cybertrucks before the end of Q3 to get these deliveries in for Tesla in Q4.”
